On a talk show recently, maybe Medved, a “pastor” from Jeremiah Wright’s denomination discussed his “Biblical” view of money and how American’s view of wealth needed to change. Basically, he said that al wealth really belongs to God so we should not take a selfish viewpoint of money and instead share more with others.
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. It was nothing less than a reassertion of the divine right of kings and the concept that all property belongs to the state. The serfs are in for a long, hard ride.
Well, the asshat was partially right. It does belong to God, and we are to be generous with it, and good stewards. That doesn’t mean the govt sticks a gun to our heads and makes us pay or tells us whom we HAVE to pay. It isn’t the govt’s money. Nothing charitable about forced payment.
